I just got newe rotors, going to get new pads and lines while im at it. waiting on the rotors still and too lazy to go online and find the best deal for pads and lines.

Anyone know a cheap replacement for the 03-04 brembos? I think I'm almost ready for mine..... I replaced them once with hawks, just wondering what else has come out since then......

 

For pads, the Axxis are a great pad at a great price. I got them at www.importrp.com, which is why I suggested it to Shermie.

 

I don't know if you saw my posts on the 05' pad wear, but I had 42,000 on mine and had less than 2mm of wear on them. They looked almost new.

I was running in the Raging Bull run, so I changed the pads and flushed the fluid anyway. I used ECB "Green Stuff" pads front and back. I didn't need to turn the rotors, they looked like you just pulled them out of the box. The pads come with a "break-in" compound on them that will take off any glaze that is left from the old pads. They stop even better now than when new. (Follow the "bed-in" process)

Just because you feel a vibration does not mean that you have warped rotors (see StopTech's website, white papers), you may just have some pad material impregnated into the rotors giving that grab as you go past it.

I also found that you can't remove the back rotors without a puller. If you have never done ANY kind of work like this, DON'T! Your life depends on it. My dealer quoted $200 per axle to do it.

 

I removed my rear rotors (and a friend's) without a puller. I used a rubber mallot and hit it from the back side. It takes a little work, but it's off in less than 5 minutes. It's no different than pulling the front rotors.

 

I bought Brembo slotted rotors and Project Mu NS pads from irparts.com. Best prices available on the net.
